Email from Elizabeth Warren: "Big announcement" [View all]

Here's what I believe --

Americans are fighters. We are tough, resourceful, and creative.

If we have the chance to fight on a level playing field -- where everyone pays a fair share and everyone has a real shot -- then no one can stop us.

That's what I'm fighting for each and every day in the United States Senate. But here's the honest truth: at the end of the day, my one voice -- and my one vote -- isn't enough. We need many strong voices fighting together to stand up for what we believe in.

I've formed a new organization -- PAC for a Level Playing Field -- to advance our fight. Together we can do more, and we can support candidates across the country who believe in consistent accountability, investing in opportunity, and fighting for families and small businesses.

Just like our campaign, the PAC for a Level Playing Field won't be funded by big corporate interests. It will be funded by grassroots donors like you.

Will you join me as a founding member of the PAC for a Level Playing Field?

In 2012, you took on the big banks and the powerful interests -- and you taught a scrappy first-time candidate how to get in the ring and win.

Your $5 and $10 donations powered us with more small-dollar funding than any other Senate campaign in the history of the United States. And with your hard work, we knocked on more doors and made our case to more voters one-on-one than any campaign in the history of Massachusetts.

Using our historic fundraising efforts and the single best grassroots army that any Senate campaign has ever seen, the PAC for a Level Playing Field will fight for what we believe in and help candidates who will join us in that fight.

Can I count on you to become a founding member? Join the PAC for a Level Playing Field now.

I know how many of you have put your faith in my ability to fight for you -- and I'll never forget it. Now let's work together to level the playing field.

Thank you for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
